| 2354 | ENT_URA_SHIVINI | aligned_with | ENT_MES_UTU_SHAMASH | medium | Shivini and Mesopotamian Utu/Shamash are parallel sun deities of neighboring ancient Near Eastern traditions. Both are depicted with a solar disk, both serve as witnesses to oaths and upholders of justice, and both occupy a third-rank position in their divine triads (after the sky deity and storm deity). The alignment reflects the shared ancient Near Eastern theology of the sun as the divine witness of justice. Zimansky (1985) p. 70. | SRC_ZIMANSKY_URARTU | reviewed | PER_URA_IRON_AGE |
